Method:– Team: 4 students. Individual groups or one full class observation of team.—-Prepare orange skins for extraction: Grate 80 g of the orange colored portion of the skin (but not into the true orange fruit) with one of the four sides of the grater and 40 g from one of the other three sides, making 3 samples of 40 g each.—- Place the reactor and one mug of water into the microwave.—- Follow User Manual for the non-plant specific operation. (6 minutes on Hi)

Collection:– Pour top contents of beaker into the easy separator.– While the oil is separating, clean out reactor and let two students perform next run.– Other two students: Rotate the separator axially by rubbing the neck between the palms of your hands. After a few seconds, observe the oil layer.– Repeat the process if you believe more oil will collect– Once the oil is separated, measure the column height in millimeters with a ruler.– Transfer oil to a vial.– Repeat for the other two samples and develop conclusions based on mm extracted.

The EssenEx® 100A Essential Oil Home Extraction Kit is the world’s fastest distillation kit. This patented product, developed at Oregon State University, uses the same technique found in traditional steam distillation but works through your home microwave! The outcome? More convenient and higher quality essential oil made right in your home in just 6 minutes! Whether you use essential oils for medicinal, therapeutic, culinary, or other purposes, you can save time and money with this revolutionary product.

This NEW kit includes everything you need to extract separate and store your own essentials you grow in your garden. Each time you use your extractor you will yield up to 3.5 g of oil depending on the plant material and 7-9 oz. of hydrosol. One run uses 50-100+g (1/8 – ¼ lbs) of plant material.

The 100A (Advanced) includes New Ice Molds, Stands and Insulators to improve Ice core (condenser) along with a Silicone Insulator Pad and New Packaging Design to allow you to easily store product when not in use.

The EssenEx®-300, inspired from customers wanting a higher capacity, triples the botanical volume capacity while at only costing about twice as much. It is a smart investment for entrepreneurs making soaps, creams and other care products, aroma therapists and folks that have a fragrance farm store such as many lavender growers. This is also a great option for home schools and K-12 chemistry labs. It is larger than the 100, and requires a microwave with a vertical clearance of no less than 9.5 inches (240mm).
